Hello. I am new to linux systems, and I am 'trying' to install Ubuntu Studio on my machine. I have done it few times already, but always did something wrong so I have had to reinstall again. First few times, I installed drivers for my graphic card, and after that it didn't started Gnome GUI. First time, I didn't realized that it is because of false drivers (or something like that), so I did it again, and again... Finally, I installed it again, and didn't used that drivers, and everything was fine. But than, I realized that my other OS, winXP don't want to boot. It shows some weird error, like some 'hal.dll' is missing. Ok, thats fine, I thought, I will reinstall it again, change settings in Grub loader and thats it. Yep, but than I messed with some user privileges (huh..) and I don't know how, but now when login as normal user, I don't have rights to administer system, and when I try to act like admin (sudo, etc), it doesn't accept my password, like it was changed. Now, I plan to reinstall it again :) Sooo... (just to mention, I have 64 bit system, so we are talking here about ubuntu studio 64 bit)
Few questions: 1. When installing, I got only option for install in text mode. Why is that? (other linux systems and 'clean' ubuntu first boot from cd, and than in GUI I can install) If this is just because, I don't blame it, I only ask if I am doing something wrong here. And why is that ISO called 'alternate install CD'? Why 'alternate', and why 'CD' when it has more than 800 MB size? 2. I always do partitioning manually, so I am wandering what is difference between ext3-2, raiserfs? 3. Next, when installing, on few points my installation stops and shows only 'please wait'. In this moments, nor my HD is 'working', nor DVD reader. It longs between 5 and 30 minutes (yes, exactly). This is really painful. Why is that? 4. And, finally, about driver I need. This is graphic card ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO. When I first time boot UbuntuS, it shows me some window about downloading and installing suggested driver, but it always said that this is 'restricted'. What should I do? Thanks a lot. Boris -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
